That IGI, he's SOOO da man.  And no, I'm not (yet) Lord Byron! Cooooool!  Try these four, folks; not a common word connection, but the four works concerned should lead you to a single work by a fifth mystery composer... Mozart Grieg Adès Gounod |

Well done!! What a busy morning you had....was it on the commute to work? Well, John did all the hard work, so credit where it's due.... Yes - a commute. The slowness of Late Worst Western Link does have some advantages after all..... Tommo |

Is this an AA rated quiz? Mozart - AmintA (Il Re Pastore) Grieg - AnitrA (her dance, Peer Gynt) Adès - AsylA Gounod - Ave MariA So that means the connection is Alcoholics Anonymous, and the 5th Mystery Composer is clearly Musorgsky  Tommo |

The Grieg is a popular piano piece, whilst the Gounod is one of those pieces many people know, but cannot always put a title to. |

Mmmm, were you thinking of Don Giovanni/ Peer Gynt? No, not a Stravinsky connection, martle.

Are we looking for a common word link here, bbm? The Nativity?
Messiaen - La Nativité du Seigneur
Martin - Le Mystère de la Nativité
Britten - Christ's Nativity
As to my quartet, the Mozart is a seasonal little number, the Grieg a celebratory piano piece.
Mozart
Grieg
Adès
Gounod
